The town in which the story is set is run by women.
The seven oldest women form the Witan, the gathering of the Wise, and they oversee everything that happens. All problems are brought to them to solve, and the town runs like clockwork until the Chaos Wolf threatens to destroy the Earth.
The two most powerful members of the Witan must devise a plan to destroy the Wolf, and helped by the apprentice healer and a stranger who has come to them from the Sea, they summon the Wolf to the place of the Sentry Stones.
There, they use all their power to destroy the evil, but not all of them can survive.

The main characters are an elderly woman and a young, feral girl. Both play a major role in a battle that threatens the city they live in. Both are portrayed in a way that is realistic despite the fantasy world around them.
